Re-envisioning clinical education:Collaboration between USM SON & MMC Carla E. Randall, PhD, RN, principle investigator Research team: Allison Haynes, BS, RN Kristiina Hyrkas, PhD, LicNSc, MNSc, RN Krista Meinersmann, PhD, RN Jennifer Kelley, BS, RN Helen Peake-Godin, MN, RN ME Nursing Summit 5 April 2011
Call to Action • 2003 National League for Nursing called for nursing education reform previous change focused on the addition or re-arrangement of content rather than significant, "paradigm shift"-type changes. • 2008 and 2010 American Association of Colleges of Nursing redesigned bachelor and master’s education essentials • 2010 Carnegie Report—call for radical transformation and re-envisioning of nursing education.
Why too few changes • Nurse educators continue to teach as they were taught (Diekelmann, 2002) • It has been difficult to call into question the nature of schooling, learning, and teaching and ask how curricular designs promote or inhibit learning (Diekelmann & Ironside, 2002) • Shortage of nurse educators
Anticipated needs by 2016 • April 2010 the Maine Department of Labor (DOL) reported a 21% increase in nursing positions • Current education pipeline unable to meet demands of future • State-wide 300-400 positions unfilled
Collaboration created • 16 member committee formed USM School of Nursing Maine Medical Center • Nurse consultants • Mary Mundt--Michigan State University College of Nursing • Carolyn Williams--University Kentucky College of Nursing
Shared vision Through academic and practice partnership, we develop innovative, high quality and sustainable models of nursing education and practice to meet the community’s need for nursing.
Clinical education redesign • Clinical immersion increase to 32 hrs • Deliberate clinical/classroom connection • Earlier entry into acute care setting • Increased use of simulation • Teaching teams composed of practice and SON faculty
Proposal • Create a project that develops a collaborative learning and teaching model of clinical nursing • Increased admission (24 students) • first group admitted January 2011 • second group admitted September 2012 • 3 year longitudinal study
Admission criteria • Previous degree • CNA certified in State of Maine • Meet criteria of SON for admission • Admitted to Accelerated program
What’s involved • Quantitative • Kolb Learning style • Health Science Reasoning Test • Casey Fink • Self Efficacy Survey • Qualitative • Focus group
Possible Recommendations • Change in prerequisites and admission criteria • Pedagogical and curriculum changes • Expand collaboration to include other practice agencies
